Costs Of War

The War in Iraq costs $720 Million a day.
That’s $500,000 a minute.
That’s $8333 a second.

“I think people are becoming more aware of these guns or butter questions,” said Gary Gillespie, “But when you talk about $720 million a day, even people who work on this issue are shocked by the number and shocked by what could have been done with that money. War has no return — you’re not producing a product.”

Great piece, combines clear narrative and simple/effective motion graphics.
